Botox® & Xeomin®
Anti-wrinkle Injections
What are the Anti-wrinkle Injections at Smooth Muse?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles responsible for unwanted lines and wrinkles. By targeting specific muscles, these injections smooth out the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, anti-wrinkle injections can be used to address hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) under the armpits, providing long-lasting relief from this common concern.
Smooth Muse offers anti-wrinkle injections designed to target common problem areas such as the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and even address excessive sweating in the armpits. Leading brands like Botox® and Xeomin® are utilised, both containing purified botulinum toxin type A, to achieve exceptional results.

Botulinum is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin is responsible for causing botulism, a rare but serious illness. However, when used in controlled and purified forms, such as in cosmetic procedures like Botox, it can be beneficial for temporarily reducing muscle activity and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. Always ensure that any cosmetic procedures involving botulinum toxin are administered by qualified and experienced professionals.
